Etymology

The term 'palleting' is derived from the word 'pallet', which has its roots in the Middle French word 'palet', meaning a small tray or plate. The modern concept of a pallet as a flat transport structure dates back to the early 20th century when it began to be used in the shipping and logistics industry. The rise of mechanized handling equipment, such as forklifts, paved the way for standardization in pallet design and usage. This contributed to the evolution of palleting as a vital process for efficient storage and distribution in warehouses and various industries. The term has since become entrenched in logistics terminology, reflecting its importance in modern supply chain management.
